Peaceful beachfront – Featured Blog

By

Today’s posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger:

Peaceful beachfront:

Amid days with strong winds, lots of fires in Thornhill and Knysna, storms in the Cape, KidZ writing exams, me finally starting to catch up on work and whatever else, we’ve had a few nice evenings and after working a little late one afternoon I stopped on the beachfront to get some sunset photos.  Standing below Brookes-on-the-Bay looking back towards Shark Rock Pier in the distance this was the scene I saw.  In the low light it just felt peaceful.

Celebrating Youth Day:

Youth Day is celebrated in South Africa on 16 June.  It commemorates the Soweto uprising of 1976 which took place in response to multiple issues with the Bantu Education Act and the government edict in 1974 that Afrikaans be used as medium of instruction for certain subjects in black schools.  Police opened fire on the protesting students and it was then when photographer Sam Nzima took the iconic picture of the dying 12 year old Hector Pieterson being carried away by another student while his sister ran next to them.
